CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as possible, make music, meet different people, have stories to tell

ABOUT ME

I'm a classical musician and student living in LA. I'm going to be studying speech pathology in the fall, and also continue gigging and studying voice. The things I want to do most of in my life are performing, traveling, and meeting all different kinds of people.

PHILOSOPHY

Think intelligently, be open minded, and have a sense of humor, basically.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was eight, my best friend tried to give my lovebird, Sam, a bath when I was reading. I found Sam with her in the kitchen completely soaked and unconscious. I immediately called my mom, a nurse, at work(we were at my house with the babysitter) and asked her what to do. She gave me the instructions for CPR over the phone, I did them, and it saved Sam's life. She lived to be ten years old after that.
